Our journeys into outer space brought us closer to understanding the universe. They also left behind numerous pieces of garbage

known as “space junk” that pose threats to spacecrafts and space stations. This orbiting dump includes thousands of nuts, bolts, gloves, and other debris. Data from a 1999 study indicate there around 110,000 objects larger than 1 centimeter orbiting the Earth left from our ventures into space. Even the smallest of these could do serious harm to a satellite or space-based telescope. It could also threaten the lives of those aboard the International Space Station. U.S. Space Command takes responsibility for keeping an eye on space junk. This agency reports any potential threat to NASA, which sometimes must order emergency maneuvers to avoid space collisions. Which sentence could be added to support the author's claim that space junk is hazardous?
A.
In one space mission alone, over 200 plastic bags were released into space by the space shuttle.
B.
When these objects finally drift back through our atmosphere, they can be mistaken for shooting stars.
C.
To illustrate, a tiny paint chip off a satellite once gouged a quarter-inch dent in a space shuttle window.
D.
Currently, the United States is responsible for more space garbage than the Soviet Union.

How did the author’s father feel when he read her story at the end of ""Only Daughter""?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The authors father felt pride in her work.

Explanation:

Sandra Cisneros was the author and her purpose was to describe her experience as an only daughter in a Mexican-American family and how it had impacted her life. Sandra Cisneros shares her experiences being alone all the time, trying to be noticed as "a writer, not just as a teacher", and always searching for her father's approval. This isolation enabled Cisneros to become a writer motivated by the desire to make her father proud.

So her father was very proud of her works after all that she struggled with.

Which of the following would not be considered a precursor to the modern novel
Natali5045456 [20]
Well think about it for a second.

Beowulf, The Iliad, and Oedipus are all old novels/poems.

Lord Jim on the other hand was written in the 1900's. Way after the former three were written. So Lord Jim would be your answer.

Hope that helps!
